You know, people tell you that sighthounds are lazy, and that they love their comforts, but you don't really viscerally KNOW it until it's nearly 2pm and you're still trying to persuade one to come out from under the duvet for his "morning" walk

We'd have done at least two widdle walks and a short walk by then. When we were in Worcester we moored right by the whippet racing track (for fun not professional dog racing) They were very keen on woofing.
